Health programs are becoming commonplace in many organisations. Offerings range from free flu vaccinations through to running an onsite gym. There are now a range of gifts available that focus on health. This blog focuses on health and health related gifts.

Lastly, knead your calf muscles with both hands and finish with effleurage.

BASIC TECHNIQUES FOR MASSAGE

EFFLEURAGE – simple stroking movement with your fingers leading. (Think of doing breast stroke in a pool) Hands together, then moving them together – up and outwards and then back together again.

BASIC KNEADING – just like kneading dough, place both hands on the leg with the fingers pointing away. Press down with the palm of one hand, grasp and push it towards the other hand. Release the flesh and grasp it with the other hand.

PUMMELLING – Make your hands into loose relaxed fists and bounce the side of your fists lightly on the skin.
